i'm not seeing any mention of trials for users.
let's assume i'm using this and churning out valuable content every week / day / whatever.
Someone hears about my thing and thinks "that sounds nifty. Not sure it's worth $x a month though"
I'd want some way for folks to be able to "try before you buy" let them get some specified number of newsletters before the system says "hey, you've been reading this newsletter for Y weeks now but we're at the end of your trial. <compelling message from author> To keep receiving this letter please <initiate payment process>."
- cjbest 9y agoThanks, that’s a good idea. The way we try to handle that now is by having an option for writers to write free posts - which are visible to anybody, and get emailed to non-paying subscribers. That way you can get a sense of the writing before committing (and regular readers are the ones who subscribe anyway...) You’re right that that doesn’t let you “preview” the paid content though. We’ll think about that.
- masukomi 9y agoyeah, free posts is ok, but with many newsletter topics they can quickly become dated and irrelevant and authors are unlikely to go back and regularly update them if they're also regularly writing a newsletter. overall i really like the idea and i agree with one of the other commenters who says you don't really need many more features.
